Open Data Master Plan

Co-developing the Open Data Master Plan: In public, with the Public!

The City of Toronto is developing an Open Data Master Plan, and we’re going about this in a very engaging and collaborative way.

Through an iterative series of in-person and online consultations, we will be soliciting feedback from our broad range of internal and external stakeholders—including the public—to ensure our Open Data Master Plan and Roadmap is in support of the City’s commitment to Open Government and guided by our four principles:

co-developed with the public;

focus on releasing data sets that help solve civic issues and provide highest public benefit;

explore opportunities to improve City efficiency; and
embrace inclusivity to remove barriers to open data and strengthen resilience.

The City of Toronto is in the final stages of its community co-developed Open Data Master Plan, which centers on four themes and twelve actions synthesized from analysis of external, internal and stakeholder engagements.

The City of Toronto would appreciate feedback on the findings, please take some time to provide your thoughts on the Open Data Master Plan. Launch the survey.

In the spirit of openness, we encourage members of the public to review project artifacts created throughout the development of the Open Data Master Plan. Project artifacts include materials and photos from community workshops, public consultations, our Open Data Beta Portal launch, as well as feedback gathered to date from our Open Data Advisory Group members.
